Looks really interesting. Can you tell me something about your fermentation/temp schedule - it looks like a lager schedule using ale yeast? Thanks!

I like to ferment Nottingham cold to get a really clean/crisp profile and avoid the banana aroma that can happen at higher temps.

My honey of choice:
Leighton's Orange Blossom Honey
